You know the thieves
While the media and Kenyans online paint one man Deputy President William Ruto as the most corrupt, they always escape to give his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta and maybe by extension opposition chief Raila Odinga the same condemnation.
While Raila and maybe the Odinga family hasn't stolen the same way the other two have, it is quite sinister to expect Ruto to be more corrupt than Uhuru and the whole Kenyatta clan.
Of course the whole Kenyan political elites are guilty of economic sabotage, however, above them at the top stands a few families namely Kenyattas, Mois, Odingas and the latest entrant Rutos.
It is against this backdrop that the exiled lawyer and Kenya Revolutionary Front founder Miguna Miguna stated that for the billion that have been stolen in tenders to be released, the President who is currently Uhuru Kenyatta must approve.
'All Government contracts and payments of Sh 1 billion or more are DIRECTLY APPROVED by Despot Uhuru Kenyatta. He approved all the trillions of shillings looted so far. He directly AUTHORIZED the 2017 election frauds and the mass murders that followed'. - Miguna wrote.
The hold on money and power is sweet, however, what the elites and owners of capital don't seem to be aware of is, as Kenya sinks deeper into a society that is anything else other than economic and political inclusive, the masses are watching and they'll be sooner than later be 'eaten'.
Because, “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they'll eat the rich”.
The Kenyan body politics stinks, you have people on one hand with high aspirations, working hard and on the other hand we have people who want to compete on who has the fattest bank account stashed with stolen money.
Our leaders (Legislature), our bosses (Ruto), our masters (Odinga), our Landlords (Kenyatta) are very stingy, grumpy, and inhumane to us, so we shall eat them. Article 37 Article 37 of the constitution gives us the right to peacefully assemble, picket, demonstrate, and petition the authorities.
